La Ferme des 9 Chemins, Les Terrasses Blanc 2023

Place: Alsace, France

Grape: Auxerrois

Vibe: Fresh As

Deemed not on the same level as the Alsatian noble varieties, Auxerrois is often planted on flat lands and blended away for Cremant. However, with rising temps and growers working exceptionally in the vines, I've started coming across more high-quality examples. This is the pick of the bunch. A short maceration lends texture whilst the palate is crisp, mineral and effortless. An utter joy to drink. ABV: 12%
